So Close Yet So Far- A Sprace Fan Fiction

Well, There It Goes

    Race stared at the boys sweating, trying to catch his breath, and attempting to collect his thoughts, "Is this heaven? Why are you all here?" He asked standing up looking confused, "Uhhh, Race dis is Manhattan." Jack replied furrowing his brow as well in confusion, "What?" Race asked sitting down on the bed, holding his head in his hands defeated, "Yous is in your room." Jack said sitting beside him, "In New York City." He rested his hand on the sobbing boys back gently, "No, dis....dis isn't real, I was in Brooklyn....with Spot...an' Elizabeth....an' my father." Race managed to squeak out between sobs.

Jack looked up at Crutchie and Davey confused. He had no clue who Elizabeth was and why Race was so passionate about a father that he claimed to have never known. Davey returned the look with another one full of confusion, but Crutchie twitched his head towards the door. Taking the hint Jack and Davey walked out of the room.
Crutchie limped over to an uncontrollably crying Race, "Hey Race." Crutchie said causing Race to look at him, "Ya know, Jack an Davey don't know bout, uh, them."
"I know Crutch."
"Ya realize that it was just a dream right?"
"Crutch it wasn't though. He was der and my fadda was der and Elizabeth was der and Spot loves me!" Race started crying again,
"Race, sorry to rain on your parade, but Spot, is the straightest Newsie ever, and he lives and controls like 50 kids."
"It's just not true." Race said starting to go into denial and storming out, "I'll show ya it's real!" He shouted passing the other concerned Newsies. He made it to the door until Specs grabbed his should and turned him around, "What?" Race asked clearly aggravated, "Do you wanna know what really happened or not?" Specs said becoming aggravated too, "The Delancys chased ya down and soaked ya for a whole day until ya passed out. We've been lookin for ya for the past week and this is our thanks? You stormin, pissed off that the Brooklyn leader doesn't love ya. Grow up." He walked inside. Race felt his heart drop to his stomach, "Could he be right?" He thought. He lit up a cigar and walked towards Brooklyn, "Only one way to find out."
